Forest Tree Improvement Work in the Central States
At your meeting 2 years ago, G. A. Limstrom gave a report on current research in forest tree improvement in the Central States, in which he discussed the various species on which work was being done. Most of the research was and still is at the present time being conducted by two agencies, the Central States Forest Experiment Station and the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. Recently, however, other State organizations in the region have taken an increased interest in this type of research, and it is probable that activity will be expanded within the next 2 years. Some consideration is being given at the present time to regional planning and cooperation. Rather than discuss current research by species, I will attempt to review briefly progress in each of several phases of forest tree improvement.
